Teaching Children About Jesus Through Storytelling with Esther Bandy

Published: March 10, 2023, 2 p.m.

Children are more open to learning about Jesus than adults. This is why My special guest Esther Bandy and I write for children, to teach them about Jesus through the art of storytelling. Be sure to have a notebook and your Bible handy as you listen to this conversation, because there are a lot of good, Holy Spirit filled nuggets that will bless your soul.\nWhen Esther Bandy was five, she heard the gospel in a Good News Club and received the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior. That was the most important day of her life. Since then she\u2019s worked as a nurse, a missionary, a Spanish teacher, and a director with Child Evangelism Fellowship. She\u2019s been published in the anthology Treasures of a Woman\u2019s Heart and in the anthology Triumph from Tragedy. She also writes for the online devotional Faith on Every Corner. Under the Tangerine Tree is her debut novel.\nEsther is a widow now, but she\u2019s grateful that her beloved husband is with the Lord and he\u2019s no longer suffering from cancer. She\u2019s also very grateful for the wonderful son they were blessed with.\nUnder the Tangerine Tree is an inspirational historical middle-grade novel set in 1963.\nTwelve-year-old Angie lives with her parents and her five-year-old brother, Joey, in New York City. After Papa is killed, Mama moves with Angie and Joey to Granny\u2019s house on a country lake in Florida. How can Angie cope with missing Papa, moving to Florida, being the new girl at school, and living with her angry teenage cousin at Granny\u2019s house? Will Angie and Joey survive the mysterious danger that lurks in the lake? With all the changes in Angie\u2019s life, will she ever be happy again?\nPurchase link:\nhttps://www.amazon.com/Under-Tangerine-Tree-Esther-Bandy/dp/B09Q967G6Q\nConnect with Esther at the following links:\nhttps://esthermbandy.com/\nwww.facebook.com/EstherMBandy\nwww.goodreads.com/esthermbandy\nhttps://twitter.com/EstherMBandy\nSubscribe to my newsletter by filling out the form at the top of my homepage at: https://annwritesinspiration.com for a free copy of this template and some other freebies I have on my site for email list subscribers.\nVisit www.everyday-excellence.com and use promo code Inspirational Journeys to get 10% off any product on the site.\nSupport this podcast with a monthly donation by visiting:\nhttps://anchor.fm/inspirational-journeys/support\nor you can give a one-time donation via PayPal at:\nhttps://paypal.me/annHarrisonBarnes?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US
